    Easy Pan-Fried Pork Chop is the perfect food to accompany the definition of heaven on earth.

    Very crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, it is no doubt that it is one of the favorites of the majority of Filipinos. It is enjoyable by itself, with rice, or with different sauces to enhance its tangy flavor more. If you want to make one at home, it is just simple to cook and serve.

    The people behind the dish named it after chops (or parts) of pork meat. One pork chop is for single serving. If one piece is not enough, there are more servings that can satisfy everyone on the table. It being deep-fried and its crispiness is what attracts people the most. One can say that it is really addicting!

    Americans and Westerners love their pork with the meat still attached to its bone. Filipinos love theirs boneless as much as possible, as long as it is crispy enough for every bite. It is unknown where this originated in the country, but all we know is that it has a great influence on Filipino cuisine.

    Pork is very delicious, especially when the cook deep-fries it to achieve the perfect level of crispiness. However, it is known to contain a high level of cholesterol. If you love eating it for your meals, you have to consume it in moderation for safety. We can also get the nutrients from the meat once we eat them, we just have to be careful.

    Easy Pan-Fried Pork Chop is one of my favorite food when I was a kid. As a matter of fact, even kids these days love eating this crispy food, and they love dipping it in ketchup or gravy.

    Tips

    • Make a quick brine solution to break down some of the muscle tissues and help the meat maintain it's moisture. Thus, your pork chop will be tender and juicy.
    • If you want to be fancy, add aromatics on the brine solution to make it more flavorful.
    • Make a slit or chop the rind of the meat so it will stay flat and cook evenly.
    • Leave the pork chop on the brine solution for 1 hour or up to overnight then marinate for another hour.

    Ingredients

    • For the Brine Solution:
      • Water
      • Soy Sauce
      • lemon juice
      • garlic powder
      • ground black pepper
      • garlic
    • For the Marinade:
      • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
      • vegetable oil
      • paprika
      • ground black pepper
    • Pork loin chops

    How to Make The Perfect Easy Pan-Fried Pork Chop

    • Prepare the brine solution by combining the water, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, ground black pepper and garlic. You may add other aromatics such as lemon grass, star anise, bay leaves and other to infuse more flavor. But for me, I make it simple and readily available in my pantry.
    • Put it inside the fridge and let the meat soaked in the brine solution for at least 1 hour or until overnight. The longer you brine, the better.
    • Let the meat drip the excess brine while preparing the marinade.
    • In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, vegetable oil, paprika and pepper. Brush the marinade sauce into the meat and let it sit for about an hour.
    • Heat a pan over medium heat, add the cooking oil. Once the oil is hot enough, pan fry the pork chop until dark brown. The edges of the meat should be caramelized.

    Easy Pan-Fried Pork Chop is a cheap cut of meat which can be pan-fried, grilled, baked and so on. For this recipe, I made a simple brine and let it soaked overnight. Then, I marinate the meat for another hour to make it super juicy and tender.
